Why should I sorrow more? I trust a Savior slain,
And safe beneath His sheltering cross unmoved I shall remain.
Let Satan and the world now rage or allure; now all is
The promises in Christ are made immutable and sure.
The oath infallible is now my spirit’s trust;
I know that He who spoke the word is faithful, true and just.
He’ll bring me on my way unto my journey’s end;
He’ll be my Father and my God, my Savior and my friend.
So all my doubts and fears shall wholly flee away,
And every mournful night of tears be turned to joyous day.
All that remains for me is but to love and sing,
And wait until the angels come to bear me to the King.
